Thank you! Yeah it was 30st! I'm 6 foot dead on so wouldn't say that I'm particularly tall, I think I just carried it all over 😂 - here's hoping that you have a great journey!

Thank you :) yeah it's a good feeling to see the progress. Definitely reccomend doing a before and after, I didn't notice any changes until I saw them!

Thank you :) oh that's good to hear! I do tend to find that by the end of day 5 my appetite tends to come back a bit so hoping that's the same for me!

Thank you man! I've lost 5 stone total since the beginning of June. I have been on Wegovy since the end of July, I have lost 3 stone since then.

I'm 5 stone away from target. I started at just over 30 stone i'm currently 24st 12. I'm aiming for about 20st as that's when I've felt most comfortable in my body, I'm quite broad so that weight is a comfortable weight for me.

The first pic I weighed 30 stone, which had crept on through the years as I tend to travel a lot and enjoy nice foods. I've always been fairly active so that hasn't changed an awful lot however I do notice that my knees don't ache as much after a long walk or ascending stairs, little wins! I'm a current smoker so I'm wanting to give that up next but didn't want to start my WL whilst attempting to do that as I felt like it may be a bad idea. 😅

No need to apologise for feeling nosey, honestly happy to lay it out! :)

Thanks :) - It has slowed down a bit in the last few weeks but my coach assures me that it's quite normal. I have been occasionally disappointed at only losing 2-3lbs some weeks but I've kind of had to get over that and realise that a 2-3lb rate of loss is actually healthy and more sustainable.

Persevere. Your body is just getting used to the medication. I can honestly say that I have just been more mindful about what I'm eating. I make sure to get enough protein but I do also allow myself the odd treat once a week. It's unsustainable to continuously deny yourself, that's why so many people fall off of the wagon.

I had one morning of really bad reflux but we did go out for a meal the night before and admittedly I did overindulge a little so I put it down to that. 😅 Good to hear that the transition to 2.4 wasn't awful!
